"There is only ONE word to describe Fabio...SPECTACULAR! I hired Fabio to finish coat my refinished basement (2000 sqft). DID AN AMAZING JOB in THREE DAYS! VERY happy and satisfied with his work. I would certainly recommend him and CERTAINLY hire him again for future drywall work! A true professional and artisan in his craft! If I could rate Fabio higher than this, I would!"

"It went amazingly, I was ready to dump the apartment because of the state it was left in when tenant was evicted. Harvey came in told me how he would restore the apt. He not only did meet what he commented to but fast exceeded what he promised. I loved the apt based on the work he did to the point I would move in..."

"On behalf of the family, we would like to thank M&J Home Services for the beautiful bathroom renovation they completed in our home. Jeff designed and remodeled a bathroom thatâ s completely updated now. The shower has all the bells and whistles! His motto â Whatever you want done, we can do it for youâ is absolutely true. His skill set is unmatched. A linen closet enhances what was originally there. He is a master of all trades and was able to refinish the deck too. We are grateful to Jeff and Milena for their hard work and perseverance in completing the job in a very professional way. They are trustworthy and respectful of the property they are working on at all times."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

You should do a little bit of sanding between adding coats of mud. Knock down any ridges or significantly imperfect areas through sanding, which should help you apply the next coat of mud smoothly. If your first coat of mud is pretty smooth after it dries, a quick sanding is all you’ll need. Don’t forget to wipe away any dust after each sanding process.

For maximum stability, install grab bars on wall studs, as this will adequately support the weight. However, if you don't have access to studs, you can get by with wall anchors. If opting for the latter, choose specialty hollow wall anchors. 

You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you’re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right type of drywall mud over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.

You can repair plaster ceilings yourself after the cause of the ceiling damage has been addressed. However, the repair can easily take 5 hours and can be slightly challenging for those without previous experience. If you do decide to flex your DIY muscle, have a helper to help hold the ladder and pass you the tools for safety purposes.

Whether you apply the drywall mesh before or after drywall mud depends on the type of patch it is. For self-adhesive patches, you’ll put the patch down first and then coat it with mud. Mesh patches that are not self-adhesive will require you to put mud down first and then press the mesh into it, followed by additional coats of mud.
